Larsen, Eric Telephone :

  • Profile
    About:
    Home: Austin, Texas, U.S.A
    Research Interests: Organic Synthesis, Nanocatalysis, Electrochemistry, Automation, and Curved Small-Molecule Topologies

    Education:
    Ph.D. - Chemistry - Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology
    B.S. - Biochemistry - The University of Texas at Austin
    Business Foundations Program - The University of Texas at Austin

    Motivation:
    Modern organic synthesis is a great driver of things, and yet, for most reactions, the traditional solution-phase approach offers little in terms of being able to actively discriminate between substrates with similar functionality. This behavior is a key feature of enzymatic catalysis and highlights the need to develop non-conventional systems that can enable synthetic transformations to occur with substrate selectivity. In this sense, nanoparticles decorated with known catalysts offer a distinct advantage over solution-based methods in that selectivity can be achieved by controlling the "type" of monolayer coverage, which collectively acts as an effective substrate gate. This work is currently being explored in Prof. Grzybowski's lab and has already provided the scientific community with an excellent platform to mimic enzymatic behavior. I am both eager and excited to expand upon this research with Prof. Grzybowski and his team.
